Our clubroom, Suite 222, is on the second floor of the 2161 Shattuck Ave. suite complex. The entrance to the suite complex is the door to the right of the Games
of Berkeley store entrance. The door is usually open during
the day, but will be locked after dark. If the door is locked when you
arrive during club hours, just call (510) 501-8314 and you will be met at the door.

In addition to our weekend club room hours, we play at Games of Berkeley
every Monday evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
with a table conspicuously in the middle of the sales floor so that
customers can see Go players having fun. We also meet downstairs at the
same times on Thursday evenings.

The UC Berkeley Campus Go Club meets every Friday in the Evans 740 classroom from
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM while school is in session. Meetings are over this semester and will resume in fall.

Each month our club hosts a game review lesson with Professional 7 Dan Mingjiu Jiang. Beginners through top amateur dans are welcome to attend. These lessons are subsidized, so you don't need to pay to attend. Please bring records of the beginnings of some of your games.
The next lesson is scheduled for Saturday, July 11th, 2015 at 7:30 PM

Location

2161 Shattuck Ave., Suite 222 (second floor)
Berkeley, CA

We are conveniently located across the street from the downtown
Berkeley BART station. Many AC Transit buses stop at this location as
well, and there are many restaurants and coffee shops in the immediate area.

Parking can be challenging, especially on Friday night and Saturday
afternoon. If you can't find street parking, the parking garage
directly behind Chase Bank across the street on the south side of
Center Street is a good option. For bikers, there is a secure lockup
across Shattuck Ave., one block south.

Club Info

Our local players range in strength from complete novice to amateur 8-dan
and in age from under 5 years old to 97. Beginners, internet players
and returning players are encouraged to stop by anytime for lessons,
practice and play.
